Is it simply because he is a saintess with immense potential that he should be prioritized for elimination?
The two factions are currently clashing, and the White Moon Palace is clearly at a disadvantage.
The two sects' cultivators at the Creation Realm were locked in a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. The opposing sect had a numerical advantage in the Spirit Pivot Realm, and its elite disciples below that level were more than twice the number of those from the White Moon Palace.
This was a premeditated ambush.
The disciples of Baiyue Palace were routed, fighting and retreating as they tried to distance themselves from the several Creation Realm cultivators above, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
Without saying a word, Lu Li also quietly changed his face, trying to blend into the crowd and take the opportunity to escape the battlefield.
He activated the Three Thousand Threads of Clouds, and his twin ponytails seemed to come alive, the originally smooth strands of hair instantly curling into spirals, compressed to the extreme like springs.
Lu Li bent his legs slightly, lowering his center of gravity, while simultaneously contracting the ligaments and sutures in his body to their maximum extent.
The vortex of air gathered in the spiral twin tails, and with a loud bang, the ligament suspension threads and the three thousand strands of cloud exploded at the same time.
This is the takeoff posture that Lu Li has recently comprehended after some time of cultivation.
Its name is—【Turbocharging】!
This technique uses ligament suspension to initiate the movement and condenses strands of hair into a spiral shape, forming a vortex-like airflow to achieve the fastest acceleration.
At that very moment, Lu Li felt himself being locked onto by several auras, including two Spirit Pivot Realm cultivators who had seen him before.
The crossbow-wielding cultivator clad in mechanical armor straightened his legs, clasped his hands together above his head, and rapidly transformed his armor into a small black star raft after a series of clicking sounds!
The other two cultivators leaped onto the small starship and chased after Lu Li. The starship was equipped with a loudspeaker, and their voices resounded throughout the entire area as soon as they spoke:
"Capture her! The one in blue is the Holy Maiden! Elder Hou Ze has ordered that she be captured at all costs! Whoever captures the Holy Maiden Lu Li alive will be rewarded with 30,000 spirit stones and two Rank 3 artifacts!"
Upon hearing this, hundreds of Qingyang Palace disciples turned around, their eyes filled with greed.
Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at. He knew something was wrong and immediately took out his storage bag, took out an old inner disciple's robe and put it on, trying to cover up the Holy Maiden's Treasure Robe.
Fortunately, there were countless disciples around, all dressed the same as Lu Li. Lu Li mingled into the crowd, hoping to hide there.
However, another shout came from behind, from who-knows-who:
"The one wearing the blue ribbon is the saintess!"
"I go!"
Lu Li exclaimed again that something was wrong. He looked down and found that his belt was exposed. Without saying a word, he grabbed the belt and ripped it off, throwing it into his storage bag.
Having just finished all that, Lu Li was still not at peace when he heard someone shout from behind:
"Grab her! The one with the twin tails is the saintess, the one with the white twin tails is the saintess!"
Lu Li was just short of taking out a small knife and cutting off the twin ponytails on the spot, but he couldn't do that because it was his flying puppet.
The crossbow-wielding cultivator clearly saw Lu Li's predicament and smugly laughed and cursed:
"Go ahead and cut it! If you're so capable, then cut your hair! Hahahaha!"
"Alright, Elder Yu is right. It's a matter of keeping your hair or your head, or keeping your head or your hair! Let's see how this demoness tries to escape now! Hehehe."
Not only were there crowds chasing and intercepting him from behind, but even Lu Li's fellow disciples, upon seeing his white twin ponytails, knew that he was the enemy's target, so they all distanced themselves, fearing that he might be the target.
Seeing this, the elder of Baiyue Palace gave instructions:
"Protect our sect's Holy Maiden, now!"
At his command, a number of White Moon Palace disciples immediately surrounded Lu Li, trying to block the path of the pursuers behind him, but this move was not very effective.
Qingyang Palace was too well prepared this time. Not only did they have a huge advantage in numbers, but half of their disciples were also equipped with flying artifacts.
On the other hand, the White Moon Palace not only had a disadvantage in the number of disciples, but also had less than one in ten disciples who had prepared flying artifacts. This rescue could only slightly alleviate the pressure on Lu Li's side and could not play a decisive role.
Lu Li had nowhere to retreat. He couldn't turn back. Getting away from the battle with the Creation Realm cultivators was the wisest choice at the moment. As long as he was still within the attack range of the Creation Realm cultivators, they would suddenly free up their hands and throw a divine power at him.
At that time, he will either be directly killed by it, or his identity will be exposed and he will become the target of everyone's hatred.
Therefore, only by withdrawing from the battle in the rear could he have a chance of survival.
Seeing this, the disciples of Baiyue Palace couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Li.
"With so many Spirit Pivot Realm cultivators chasing after her, I'm afraid my sect's Holy Maiden is... alas, I'm afraid she's in grave danger."
"No, Sister Lu, Sister Lu helped me win money, I need to go save Sister Lu."
"Come on, you can't even take care of yourself. If you really want to, just put a few more premium pears in front of the Holy Maiden's grave next year."
In fact, Lu Li was not entirely helpless. As long as no cultivators at the Creation Realm intervened, he could slaughter the entire group behind him once he transformed!
There's a reason why people keep their hair.
After chasing for a while, the Qingyang Palace disciples gradually realized that Lu Li was extremely fast, so fast that ordinary disciples could not catch up at all. They had only chased for five miles when they were left far behind.
Only seven elders at the Spirit Pivot Realm followed closely behind. They rode four three-turn puppets together, with a clear division of labor, constantly launching ranged attacks, forcing Lu Li to dodge in all directions, thus slowing down his speed so that he could barely keep up.
At this moment, the two cultivators standing on Elder Yu urged:
"Elder Yu, could you go any faster! It's too slow! If we can't even catch up with a junior in the Open Source Realm, won't we be laughed at?"
"My Black Moon Shuttle is a third-level mechanical weapon, and I've already pushed it to its limit, yet I still can't keep up with her. I wonder what's the origin of those braids of hers. Instead of trying to urge me on, you should fire a few more divine attacks and knock her down!"
Chapter 173 The Path of the Spiritual Pivot
The elders were all shocked, because the girl was moving too fast. Her two braids swung rapidly, like two giant rotors, propelling her body forward.
Every time they were about to catch up, the girl's twin ponytails would suddenly stop, then spiral into a shape and compress to the extreme, before she would suddenly push off in mid-air and accelerate again, leaving everyone behind.
Suddenly, a head rose up from the front of the star raft that Elder Yu had transformed into. It was Elder Yu's head. He was looking ahead, his eyes gleaming, and his face was full of greed.
"This three-turn automaton is incredibly mysterious. Not only does it possess both cloud and air properties, but it also combines the explosive power of a jet vehicle with the stability of a bird-like vehicle."
"This artifact is compatible with the lineage I cultivate. If I can capture this woman and obtain the scroll of this artifact, it will definitely greatly increase my flight speed!"
After saying that, two cloud-piercing crossbows emerged from beneath his wings, their tips accumulating spiritual energy before he fired a series of spiritual energy bolts.
Lu Li raised an eyebrow, narrowly avoiding the opponent's attack. The opponent's body movements changed repeatedly, which greatly shocked him, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
As if he had seen through Lu Li's thoughts, Elder Duan said smugly:
"Stunned now, aren't you? This is called the Path of Transformation, my disciple~"
"Is this considered a change of direction?"
Lu Li had always thought that the one he had never met was the one who had changed his ways, but now it seemed that his understanding was too narrow.
"That's not true. The Path of Transformation encompasses everything. It's not just about changing one's appearance. Transforming into a star raft, a war chariot, or even a demonic beast—those are all manifestations of the Path of Transformation."
"I've really learned something new..."
"However, this path can usually only be fully comprehended after you advance to the Creation Realm. The elder behind you, who is in the late stage of the Spirit Pivot Realm, has obviously begun to study this path ahead of time. In fact, after the fourth transformation, there is a special category of puppets called the Transformation Path Puppet."
When Lu Li heard Duan Lao's description, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Then...can this thing combine?"
"Oh? How do you know that the Transformation Dao Puppet can combine?"
Wow, that actually works!
"However, the fusion of puppets is not something you need to worry about right now. You haven't even reached the Spirit Pivot Realm yet, let alone the Fusion Realm. Hmph."
"Spiritual Pivot Realm..."
Lu Li cannot access higher-level texts for the time being, but as a disciple of a sect, he has read quite a few texts related to the Spirit Pivot Realm recently.
As early as the Puppet Master Realm, cultivators used spiritual sources to replace spiritual roots in order to store spiritual power.
In the open-source realm, some cultivators will install the Xuan Shu to enhance their divine sense.
The term "Spiritual Pivot" in the so-called Spiritual Pivot Realm refers to the simultaneous possession of spiritual power and divine sense. The Spiritual Pivot represents the lineage that cultivators will practice in the future, and there is no fixed way to advance.
In ancient times, this thing was not called Ling Shu, but Jin Dan. Ling Shu was usually shaped into an irregular sphere, and the materials varied.
Of course, there are also cultivators who have some clever ideas and have shaped the spirit core into other forms.
Lu Li clearly remembered that when he pretended to be behind the future, he obtained an ordinary ice-attribute spirit core, which might mean that he would focus on ice cultivation in the future.
The Spiritual Pivot is a very special thing. Like the Spiritual Source, it does not correspond to any organ in the ordinary human body, and therefore it is not within the scope of the Reversal of Heavenly Dipper Instrument.
Furthermore, the future self only represents future possibilities. Perhaps he will not reach that point and will perish prematurely, or perhaps his future achievements will far surpass those of the future self.
Is the path of ice truly the one he will follow in the future?
Perhaps there are other paths?
This thought lasted only a moment, affecting only one of Lu Li's sub-cores. He quickly refocused his attention and concentrated on dealing with the people behind him with all four cores.
Suddenly, someone shouted from behind:
"Stay close to him. So what if he flies fast? We are at the Spirit Pivot Realm, and our spiritual energy reserves far exceed his. If we keep going like this, he will eventually run out of spiritual energy."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li abruptly stopped. He slowly landed on a mountaintop, turned to look at the crowd behind him, seemingly waiting for them to catch up.
Upon seeing this action, Elder Yu was first taken aback, then grinned maliciously:
"See what I told you? She's out of spiritual power, hahaha, everyone, Elder Hou said we have to capture her alive!"
"To maintain such speed while activating the three-turn puppet for such a long time, this woman's spiritual energy reserves are indeed remarkable; it should not be something that ordinary spiritual sources could achieve."
In the blink of an eye, seven Spirit Pivot Realm cultivators had surrounded Lu Li.
At this moment, they were already more than a hundred miles away from the main battlefield, and even a cultivator at the Creation Realm would not be able to sense the situation here.
As these people have said, the spiritual energy reserves of cultivators in the Spirit Pivot Realm are extremely terrifying. Even a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Pivot Realm can have more than five times the spiritual energy reserves of a cultivator in the Open Source Realm.
Lu Li has no spiritual source; his spiritual power relies on the five spiritual cores within his body. The five elements generate and cycle, and his spiritual power is inexhaustible, comparable to some early-stage Spirit Pivot Realm cultivators. However, among the people present, there are many in the middle or even late stages of the Spirit Pivot Realm.
Therefore, if this continues, he will inevitably exhaust his spiritual power first.
"Looks like we're doomed... Just kidding, come at me all at once."
"Huh? What did she say? Did I hear that right? She... she told us to attack together?"
"You're someone of note among the disciples, but the seven of us are at the Spirit Pivot Realm. What makes you think you can compete with us?"
The elders scoffed, but Elder Yu frowned. He had the highest cultivation among them, and with Hou Ze absent, he was in charge.
At that moment, he suddenly recalled the scene of Lu Li ambushing him on the star raft, and secretly transmitted his voice:
"Brother Wang, Brother Su, you two set up a gabion to isolate this place from the outside world. The rest of you, come with me. There's something fishy about this woman. She's someone Elder Hou specifically ordered to be captured. We absolutely cannot let her get away with this!"
"I wonder what Elder Hou is trying to do, that he would want to capture such a little girl. Could it be that she really has something special about her?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, then one elder shouted:
"Witch! You're surrounded! You can't escape. Surrender obediently, and you'll be spared some physical pain!"
Facing the ill-intentioned crowd, Lu Li remained expressionless. He snorted coldly and said:
"You are the ones who are surrounded!"
Having said that, Lu Li no longer concealed his true feelings!
His aura steadily increased, from the Open Source Realm to the early stage of the Spirit Pivot Realm, from the early stage of the Spirit Pivot Realm to the middle stage of the Spirit Pivot Realm, and from the middle stage of the Spirit Pivot Realm to the late stage of the Spirit Pivot Realm.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed.
"How is this possible? Could she also be at the Spirit Pivot Realm?"
"No, not the Spirit Pivot Realm..."
Lu Li's aura continued to rise without any sign of stopping. She broke through her limit in one fell swoop and rose to a new realm!
"She is at the Creation Realm!"
Chapter 174 There's no time to mourn Lu Li's death.
"She...she's actually at the Creation Realm! Everyone, retreat!"
Elder Yu exclaimed in surprise, and everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
How is this possible? How could the Holy Maiden of the White Moon Palace be at the Creation Realm?
They're both holy sons and daughters, but those brats from their sect are still ripping off other sect's disciples at this hour, while the other sect's holy daughter has already advanced to the Creation Realm.
What a huge difference! She has only been a saint for less than a year.
Even a top-tier puppet crafted by an elder couldn't advance this quickly!
